Laminate flooring and door frames

Hi all,
I've layed laminate flooring several times over the years, in rooms no straight corners, rooms with 5 doors etc. and the one thing that always causes me stress is doorways.

My sons bedroom is rectangular approx 3m by 2.7m with a door in the far corner. (See image ). All the skirting boards have been removed and I've undercut the architrave around the door.

Obviously to lay the floor I'd start at wall A as it's the longest and work my way backward toward wall B and the doorway.

My problem... how do I lay the last row of laminate at the door so that it fits under the architrave. (bottom part of the diagram) This is a click type laminate so it has to go in at 45 degree angle and then be pushed down.

May have to shave off the ridge on the long side of the doorway boards, use some glue and slide them in from the hallway side into the finished floor. Or start at the doorway and work to the other wall.

You would want a full piece under the door, you will have to measure and notch out to fit the door, a oscillating saw to make cut under door jam then each one after the doorway in 1st row would be striped to match the difference.
